No, but we do have parent committees that I'll be getting involved in. We have our big parent meeting about them next month. It's a very parent-involved school, which I think is really neat.
Let's get some posts going and grow this community with a GTKY (Getting To Know You) post!

2. Which state do you live in and when is your first day of school? MN first day of school was August 26th
3. How long are your kids in school each day (ex: 8am-2pm)? Right now my school day is 10:15- 4:45, LO is in preschool/daycare from 8:30-5:30
4. Public school, private school, homeschool, charter school, something else? I teach at a charter school - we haven't decided yet if LO will go to my school or if he will go to our local public school. Both schools are very good schools, but it will depend on schedules.
5. Are you a member of the PTA/PTO (Parent Teacher Asscociation/Organization)? I am on a parent board at preschool and a teacher board at my school. I hope to be on a PTO when LO is in school, but it not sure how that will all work out yet.
I basically lurk here and post when I can offer teacher opinions and thoughts. Hope you dont' mind that I crashed your party!
